In the interests of fairness I should point out that the concatenation
operators are redundant in the second example, and without them (thanks to
the parentheses) the literals will be concatenated at compile time. I often
use
(code of some sort)'''\
SELECT foo
FROM bar
WHERE baz = %s"""
to ensure the multiline string literal is correctly aligned, making
indentation issues easier to diagnose.
